Even before Josh Uche was a healthy scratch from the Patriots’ lineup for Sunday’s win over the Jets, speculation over his involvement in a possible trade had already begun.
Less than 24 hours later, the answer appears to have been given in the form of a trade from New England to the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
For the Patriots, now 2-6 after the comeback against New York a day earlier, adding another draft pick to the team’s current stockpile amid a roster rebuild inevitably makes sense.
